Chapter 164. One arrow

Zhen Huan stood up, looked at Wen Shichu and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Her voice was bitter and broken, "How can you curse him like that?" Curse my child's father! ”

Wen Shichu was in tears, the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness, but he still continued: "Huan'er, the water of the Yellow River is so urgent, even the iron boat has been broken into pieces, even if the corpse is found, it will not be recognized." ”

Zhen Huan listened in a daze, but her heart was so painful that she was about to go numb, like a blunt knife grinding her heart fiercely, grinding into a blur of flesh and blood: "He's dead?" Can't even see the last one? She listened to Wen Shichu's persuasion that "people can't be resurrected after death", suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed weakly, "Impossible, this can't ......"

The exclamations of Liu Zhu and Cui Jinxi sounded in her ears, but Zhen Huan had never been so sober, she keenly smelled the smell of conspiracy, and muttered with great difficulty: "Good and decent, why did the boat capsize?" Why can't I even find the body? ”

"Actually, the wreckage of the ship he was sitting on has been found, and there is nothing wrong with the hull." Wen Shichu supported Zhen Huan, his voice was sluggish and wet, "It's just that the bottom of the boat is not made of iron nails, but is wrapped with raw rubber and rope glue, once the boat is driven in the water, the raw rubber and rope will be disconnected, and the boat will sink." ”

Zhen Huan's eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head vigorously: "That ship was dispatched by the government, it shouldn't be like this." ”

"Yes, there was no problem with the boat when I went, according to the shipbuilders, although the hull of the ship was no different from the one they built, but the bottom of the ship was different, it can be seen that the boat was transferred when it was parked on the bank of the Yellow River, and it was manipulated." Wen Shichu nodded and said.

Zhen Huan's eyes became clear a little bit, she slowly straightened up while holding Cui Jinxi's hand, and became more and more miserable while being frightened: "Who wants to harm him?" Who is going to kill him? She already had an answer in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.

The emperor has always been very good to Yunli, he shouldn't be so ruthless!

In the cool terrace, Meng Jingxian gathered her thick cloak, slowly took a sip of hot tea, looked up at the starless night sky, pinched her fingers and calculated: "The prince should have arrived at Junggar by this time, I hope the negotiations will go well." ”

"Miss Meng, the prince said that he must tell the lady of Ling Yunfeng about his fake death and going to Junggar, wouldn't it be good to hide it like this?" Jiang Caiping was a little flustered, and it was rare to muster up the courage to take the initiative to talk to Meng Jingxian.

Meng Jingxian's face sank, but she didn't get angry, she just put down the teacup in her hand with a faint expression, looked at Jiang Caiping and asked: "That Mo Chou lady has lived in Qingliangtai for a while, but it has attracted you and her heart-to-heart, compared to me, you should be more willing to let her be the master of Qingliangtai, right?" ”

"Slaves don't dare." Jiang Caiping immediately knelt down.

Meng Jingxian didn't wake her up, but continued: "It's okay. If that Mo Chou lady really loves the prince, even if she knows that the prince is 'dead', she should stay in Lingyun Peak wholeheartedly to observe the festival for the prince. If she could do that, I would quit willingly. She lowered her eyebrows secretly, and her eyes were indifferent.

She really didn't want to watch the prince give up the great cause that he had been planning for many years for Zhen Huan, so she didn't hesitate to drag her sick body to catch up with him halfway to Yunnan and Tibet, begging bitterly, this opportunity is really rare, if you can secondment Zhun Geer's troops, wouldn't it be more likely to win? With the ability of the prince, negotiating with Junggar is just a piece of cake.

Meng Jingxian's eyes flashed slightly, and she thought about him in her heart.

As long as the prince is ambitious and domineering, he will not forget her, and when the time comes, there will still be a place for her by his side, and for many years, she will not believe in fighting Zhen Huan!

She tugged hard at the Jinpa in her hand, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

The cold winter has arrived, and it is snowing day after day in the palace, and the snow covers the Forbidden City, which makes people breathless, and the palace people who come and go are cautious, and they dare not breathe, for fear that the master will be unhappy and punish them.

Some palace people saw the third elder brother enter Jingren Palace, and hurriedly turned around and went to Weiyang Palace to spread the news.

After An Lingrong heard this, he only turned a page of the scriptures with a faint face, and said "reward" to dill, and the man went down happily with the reward.

"Concubine Qi committed suicide, she shouldn't have been buried so decently, but the queen pleaded, and the emperor still allowed her to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum, which can be regarded as taking care of the third elder brother's face." Dill calmly replied to An Lingrong, and when she said this, she couldn't help but show a little sneer, "The queen really worked hard to hold the third elder brother. ”

"It's a pity that what she asked for will not come true." An Lingrong twisted the Buddha beads in one hand and flipped through the scriptures in the other, without a trace of expression on his face, "What's going on over there in Yikun Palace?" ”

"Concubine Min ate the chestnut cake sent by Concubine Qi, and the child was gone that night, and it has been popular for half a month, but it has become a blood landslide." Dill glanced at An Lingrong's face and said slowly, "The cardamom medicine was mixed in her tonic for Xiaoyue, and it was still the same method used by the Yu family when they murdered the concubine, and they didn't notice it at all." ”

An Lingrong hummed quietly and continued to read in silence.

Dill looked at An Lingrong's increasingly thin side face, and her awe in her heart increased by three points.

The current An Lingrong is like a volcano that has been silent for many years and is faintly about to erupt, and the heavy majesty is revealed, just sitting there cross-legged is enough to make people tremble and bow their heads.

Maybe it was because her smiling appearance was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people before, or maybe it was because the contrast between approachable and imposing was too strong, Dill occasionally felt that there was a sense of discord between reality and memory, and she couldn't tell which was An Lingrong's disguise, or both of them were real An Lingrong.

She quietly shot an arrow, and easily pulled out the queen's two chess pieces.

Dill looked at the crackling charcoal fire in the brazier, and her memory flashed back to a month ago......

"The concubines greet the queen's mother, and the sisters say goodbye." Ye promised to come in a green coat, and stood in the center of the hall to make a big salute to the queen.

The queen called out lightly, and then said: "You have been in the palace for so long, and I haven't seen you in this palace, so I have to invite you to come over today and get together with the sisters in the palace." She held the tea cup, and the tea lid brushed the tea cigarette, "Concubine Rong is seriously ill and difficult to get up, Concubine Duan has always been in poor health, except for the two of them, the sisters in the palace are all here today, you can see them one by one." ”

"The emperor knows that I have a cold temperament and don't like to move around, so I am exempted from saluting in the palaces, and I hope that my sisters will forgive me." Ye Yu straightened his back, looked ahead, and his scorching gaze fell on the queen's face, which was quiet and solemn.

"Although the emperor is compassionate, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, how can you delay coming to see her." Concubine Qi had already received the queen's signal, and today she must have promised Ye a dismissal, and when she heard this, she immediately made accusations.

Ye promised a slight twitch at the end of his eyes, and there was a bit of sharp sarcasm in his words: "If you really respect in your heart, you don't need to see you every day." In a word, Concubine Qi couldn't get off the stage, and Ye promised to follow up and said, "What's more, who knows which of the people sitting in this hall is duplicitous?" ”

Ye promised, it was like tearing off a fig leaf for everyone, and killing the flattery and flattery of those false and wrongful snakes with a stick, the first to bear the brunt was Concubine Qi, she has been ingratiating herself more and more recently, just to be able to hold the third elder brother firmly, but she also has her own careful thoughts in her heart.

Restraining her expression vigorously, Concubine Qi said coldly: "What do you mean by this?" Among these six palaces, who doesn't really worship the queen? ”

The queen glanced at Concubine Qi meaningfully.

Concubine Qi thought she was well disguised, but she didn't know that her heart had already been seen through by the queen.

Ye promised that he didn't want to use just a few words to find out who would come out, but he didn't expect that someone would really be so stupid, jumping into the pit in a hurry, he couldn't help but be a little funny, and stabbed Concubine Qi and said: "Sincerely, this kind of thing is just said in the mouth, is it counted?" ”

"You!" Concubine Qi was stunned, and pointed at Ye Promise incoherently, "Queen Mother, look, you see Ye Promise......" She was so angry that her fingers trembled, and she glared at Ye Promise, "You are too arrogant, what is the difference between this and the Guan Concubine who was abolished in the past?" "She is a dignified concubine, and she was so sarcastic by a small promise.

Hearing this familiar name, Shen Meizhuang shook his head for a moment, his hand moved, the tea lid was crisply knocked on the teacup, Concubine Jing glanced up at Concubine Qi, the look in her eyes was inexplicable, Concubine Qi's scalp tightened, and she turned her head unnaturally.

Concubine Qi was still gushing: "You just agreed, but there is no one in your eyes like this, even when the concubine is in full bloom, she has never been so arrogant, she has always been respectful to the queen, you are so ......"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more stagnant.

Concubine Min's hair stood erect almost instantly, protecting her stomach and being on guard, her pupils shrunk in a ball of stress, and Concubine Min's face was also ugly, and she was busy drinking tea to cover it up, and the jade nobleman quietly looked up at the queen, and then looked at Concubine Min, her eyes were full of distress.

The queen's face sank slightly, but she was faintly uneasy in her heart.

Where did this uneasiness come from, the queen doesn't know, lost her health, An Lingrong was depressed, she hid in the Weiyang Palace all day long, and she lost a lot of weight in less than a month, but the more this happened, the more the queen felt that she was forbearing, and she was afraid of retaliation in the future.

It's not enough.

The queen stroked the armor of her tail finger, and her eyes were grim.

Concubine Qi took a breath, Concubine Qi followed up and spoke, Ye promised to be too lazy to listen any longer, and quickly made a casual salute: "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." If the queen has nothing else to do, even if the concubine has seen it today, the concubine will retire first. With that, he knelt down to his knees.

Concubine Qi was so angry that she couldn't do it, but it was the queen, she didn't speak the whole time, and when Ye promised to leave, she slowly reprimanded Concubine Qi: "She didn't do anything wrong, what are you angry about?" ”

"Among these six palaces, there has never been such an unruly person!" Concubine Qi was still angry, and she couldn't wait to immediately beat Ye Promise into the cold palace.

"From now on." The queen said coldly, "It's not early today, everyone should disperse." ”

Everyone got up and retreated, and the queen left Concubine Qi alone.

"Queen Mother, in the past, it was understandable that Concubine Wan was pampered and arrogant, and now it should be Concubine Rong who is qualified to be arrogant and domineering, what is this Ye promise, but a female slave with a very low status, even dares to show off her power in front of the queen mother." Concubine Qi spoke indignantly.

The queen sat crookedly on the couch and said with a sneer: "She used to be a lowly slave girl, but now she is the emperor's favorite person. ”

"With her, she can also give birth to a prince?" Concubine Qi scoffed.

"With her grace today, it is only a matter of time before she has a prince, you can see Concubine Min." The queen lightly aroused Concubine Qi's sense of crisis, "At such a young age, she will be pregnant in less than a year, relying on this child, the emperor has even forgiven her for indirectly killing Ankang, Ye promised to be put on the tip of the emperor's heart now, if you really have a child, the third elder brother will have one more strong opponent." ”

Concubine Qi suddenly became nervous, and her eyes began to dodge incessantly.

"Last time, you used longan saffron soup to plot to murder the noble people of Chengqian Palace, do you remember?" The queen talked about the old past slowly, and Concubine Qi was suddenly shocked.
